Visit to Taj Mahal

Visit to Taj Mahal :

There are many beautiful and worth seeing historical places in India. But the Taj Mahal of Agra is the most beautiful of all. It is a dream in marble. My friend and I visited that in the last summer vacations. The vision cast a spell over me. It stood in unique majesty. What a fine lay out indeed! This is what one could say on the spot. It looked white on all sides. The green tufts of glass and the green shoots of hot Cyprus trees adorned its majestic beauty. Nature’s beauty made the ground of the building look all the more beautiful.

We went down the staircase. We found the graves of the king and the queen under the dome in a dark chamber. Multicolored pieces of glass and couplets form the Quran decorated the side walls. The four minarets stood as watch men at each of the main building.

A full moonlight followed the next day. We visited the Taj again that night. Its beauty smiled in the silvery light of the moon. It was a memorable scene. My joy knew no bounds when I saw its reflections in the river Jamuna. Clear picture of marble could be seen. I closed my eyes and opened them again to find it was a reality. Nay! It was to a dream.

As god is there to bestow nature’s beauty, man’s hand is there to create wonderful pieces of art and architecture. How could man be so perfect in working out the minute details of art? I am full of wonder even now. And I can still see the beauty of the Taj with my mind’s eye, if at all I desire so. Wheat a great beauty man could create!

The Taj Mahal was built about three hundred and fifty years ago by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, in memory of his beloved queen, Mumtaj.

Each person has his/her own favorites places to remember with sweet memories. For me, it is a place I visited when I was a small child. It is Trivandrum, India.

It was my first long trip with my parents and my brother. We left our home early in the morning and my dad drove the car. It took almost 4 hrs to reach the place. All the way to Trivandrum, I was looking outside and eyes simply couldn;t close.We reached there around 10 Am and first we vistied a temple which is constructed around 17th century by a Travancore King. The temple is famous for its artchitecure and it is with lots of steps. The is temple pond where people wash their feet and bath in order to visit the temple ie, that is the costom there in every temple.

Our second place of interest was the Palace of Travancore King, Pathmanabha Kottaram.

The flooring is marble. It is a 4 or 5 storey building with lots of paintings on the wall. I think it took almost 3 hrs to watch the paintings as well as the palace. We would wonder about the lifestyle of our kings.. the way they lived and royal rooms and arrangements in the palace, etc.
